This place was good. Nice and clean. The pool was great. The only issue is that our room was too hot. In the middle of summer air-con would’ve been great because the fan only blew hot air around. Would’ve given more stars.

My friend and I had travelled from Auckland for Armageddon over the weekend and arrived quite late to check in. The lovely owner was so quick and kind to get us checked in, regardless that we were arriving during the late evening. The room was clean, tidy and accessible with allocated parking right outside our studio room front door. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anybody. Thank you again for such a great experience!!

Clean nice property to stay at. Nice private courtyard behind your unit. The only issue I have is they charge you ten dollars per towel to use pool. Quiet considering your near a main road.

It was by far the worst accommodation we have ever stayed in. $264 for one night, we had really noisy ppl on one side and a Patched Headhunter Gang Member on the other side that liked to demonstrate how loud his Harley was every hour or so, outside our window. Then the burnout at 7.30am didn't go down well. Our room was disgusting, they wouldn't refund me, there was stains all over the bed, dirt swept under furniture, missing TV remote, taps falling off, back door jammed shut. I could go on, it was revolting. The manager was completely useless. I wouldn't stay there again if they paid me $264. Biggest rip off ever!
